AB  - Philippine folk theater exhibits an exuberant spirit kindred to that of feasts and celebrations. In the sinakulo, for example, scenes of the Creation, Transfiguration, Resurrection, and Ascension are lit by sparklers (lusis) and involve ingenious stage devices and special effects. The entrances and exits, the tournaments and battles in the komedya are done to music, with marching and flourishes, with grandiloquent taunting and boasting. costumes are sequinned, spangled, plumed, studded with medals. The parties and feasts embodied in most sarsuwelas are as grand as budget and folk imagination can make them. Dramatizations like the Salubong and the Panunuluyan are replete with statues, actors, singers, angels descending, verses, music, and special machinery.
